Dorian-Themeby *killhellokitty

Customization / Skins & Themes / Linux and Unix Utilities / Desktop Environments / GNOME / GTK3

Dorian-theme ~ A Darkly Elegant Theme

Dorian has many of its own unique characteristics. To name a couple, hovered buttons grow in size, and insensitive buttons/widgets have a diagonal pattern distinguishing them from normal or active states.
Dorian's appearance is consistent between Gtk2 and Gtk3. Gtk2 uses the pixmap-engine** to resemble Gtk3 as closely as possible.

Icons - Clarity-canus, Wallpaper(Inset) - Black(20) by no-credit, Wallpaper(Outset) - DeLoreanWall by killhellokitty

Includes:

Gtk2 Theme

Gtk3 Theme

_{*gtk3.6 is required for gtk3 applications(Gnome3 apps). If using Gnome, the corresponding version is necessary (Gnome3.6).}
_{**gtk2 is entirely drawn with pixmaps-engine using image files, in this case predominately vector. Pixmap-engine is know to draw windows slower than other(murrine,clearlooks,etc...) engines; therefore the gtk2 portion of this theme renders in roughly twice the time as other non-pixmap-engine themes. This is not a problem or concern, Dorian's gtk2 draws its windows very fast, just not as fast as other theme engines.}
_{***gtk2 is drawn with vector graphics(svg). Most distributions include libsvg(or equivalent) by default.}

Great new theme. one small suggestion. Could you please make this little arrow here [link] surrounded by a light blue shadow?

~vnON May 8, 2013

Thank you very much - now my Ubuntu much better for my sensitive eyes.

~tetorea May 8, 2013

Finally a good dark theme!!
I tried a couple but all others had poor contrast or still too much clear backgrounds.

My only problem so far is with the terminal: when I have many tabs, the non selected ones have a transparent background. Is it on purpose, or do I have some configuration problems?

~Xian75 May 7, 2013

Love the theme but since the release of Ubuntu 13.04, synaptic program keeps crashing when this theme is in use. It does not when I change theme to something else.

~karanrajpal14 May 4, 2013

Amazing theme! Love it!

I can't find the chromium theme though. Has it been removed?

~meninomed Apr 30, 2013 New member

Thank you very much. Cheers!

Very good theme, I really love it there is just one issue with the metacity retro and nautilus (in gnome 3.6):

when nautilus is maximized it usually hides the titlebar, but here it only hides the title of the window and the buttons, but not the bar itself. It works fine with the "Dorian-Theme" current theme, but not with the "dorian-retro-right-metacity".
(I haven't tested the left one)

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll look into it and hopefully have a fix out soon.
